Sarah Palin takes Fox News commentator job

I look forward to hearing what she has to say.... the policy commentary was @ 25% of her book... I would much rather see her as GOP chair, but Fox is good, also...

TL-770512 - Agreed. Every time she winks, take a drink. Oh man, I'll be wasted so fast.

Wait until they finally figure out that she can't speak extemporaneously, and that she goes all rogue on them. I can't wait!

And she's probably getting paid a fortune for at least this 1 year gig!

She can spout all the mindless crap that she wants, and have absolutely no responsibility for anything! It's perfect for her!!!

This is awesome!

Oh god...when's the Apocalypse? This is one of the seals breaking right?

I think this is great, and hopefully she hasn't ended her aspirations for the political arena. With 1 million on her facebook, and millions of books sold....it has to say something for her popularity. Even though the liberals try to make her look like a goof, she is far more intelligent and cunning than they will ever imagine or believe. Way to go Sarah!

Oh god...when's the Apocalypse? This is one of the seals breaking right?

Hilarious!!!! Love it.

she is far more intelligent and cunning than they will ever imagine or believe

Please, do share evidence of this.

This is one of the seals breaking right?

To be fair to her, she's more like one of the seals that barks while balancing a ball on its nose.

To be fair to her, she's more like one of the seals that barks while balancing a ball on its nose.

I wouldn't give her that much credit. I doubt she could balance one of those balls using her hands.

Rita... 2 million people in America's election will not get you elected to the WH. Anyway Palin will quit when she gets tired of doing her bashing. Quitting is in Palin's DNA

Precisely what I was going to mention life, she is a quiter.

She will do this only so long as she gets 'good' reviews. The minute the tide turns whether or not her 'contract' is up, she will walk out on FOX...

Fox has a new "hen" in the house! Sarahs credibility rating was Zero!..now it delves into the negative numbers. AmPhoto...I see you responded to Ritas half baked crowing about Sarah's alleged talents, she has no idea what this woman is about. If she had a clue then her opinion might be in the realm of reality. Besides..where else could this clueless woman go..to NewsHax! Sarah would last less than 1 week on MSNBC! the reality of the world around her would be way to much for her lizard brain but at least Pat Buchanan would give her some comfort.

Given the choice between serving the people of Alaska who elected her governor or leaving two and a half year early to sell her book and hook up with Fox News, Sarah Palin showed her true American patriotism by opting for the money instead. Sarah's new favorite saying is now, "I can see the money from here."

she is far more intelligent and cunning than they will ever imagine or believe

Please, do share evidence of this.

Palin may not be well versed in world affairs...but I reckon that she's a very shrewd political operator. Becoming a contributor on Fox News so she can stay in the limelight with the Conservative viewers...but stopping short of actually having her own show so she can have some semblance of political credibility?

Put it this way; if she hasn't thought that out then someone else has on her behalf. I should also mention that I don't support her in the slightest, but this is, regrettably, a clever move.

a clever move.

On Ms. Palin's part? Or Fox's?

i dont care what this woman does and i don't care what fox news does. if they cross over a line of legality then they should be punished like any other tv network. i dont watch fox and who cares what they do? i dont.

And what tiny, little bit of credibility FOX has left has down gone down even further.

Who didn't see this coming when Sarah called it quits on the job her people elected her to?

On Ms. Palin's part? Or Fox's?

Arguably both, certainly a clever coup from Fox. They know exactly who their audience is and Palin is the conservative's queen. Having her appear on the channel will not only captivate their audience but it will probably result in greater circulation across the channels/internet as Palin is an enthralling figure politically.

With regards to Palin? That depends, but I would argue that in preparation for a return to the political stage (which is still a possibility) appearing as a contributor on a channel where the vast majority of viewers (I would imagine) would vote for her cannot be a bad thing. It's whether she can make the transition back, which remains to be seen.

If she has no intention of returning to politics at all, let alone running in 2012, then it's still a financially lucrative deal and therefore, a clever move.

I still find her to be an odious character, however.

Just think - FOX won't have to buy her a wardrobe. The RNC already has. From some pretty spiffy stores too, you betcha.

It's the "Let's get Superficial with Sarah" Hour. Can't wait.

With 1 million on her facebook,

First, not all those facebook people are supporters. I could see signing up just for the amusement of seeing whatever garbage she spouts next.

Secondly, only a twit like Palin would think that having a million facebook friends means anything.

I can't imagine watching her on a show for even 30 minutes at a time. I hear her voice/accent for 30 SECONDS and get a migraine. I would have to watch it muted with closed captioning turned on. But honestly, I'd rather watch ANYTHING other than her.

I hope she keeps her political aspirations. She will run under a third party and split the GOP. Then we can have our "permanent majority". I'd even donate to her campaign fund.

This is proof that mediocrity, racism, classisism, right wing middle class cheerleading, rises to the top

That's only true if you consider Fox News 'the top'.

appearing as a contributor on a channel where the vast majority of viewers (I would imagine) would vote for her cannot be a bad thing.

Not a bad thing, but I think history demonstrates that it isn't an effective strategy.

Eric Albert I feel sorry for you..your post is disgusting.

You can fool some of Fox's viewers, er, I mean the people . . .

What the hell is FOX news thinking?......its a fun news show to watch.....why ruin it now?

John McCain created a monster.... Maybe she should narrate "Animal Planet" instead.

Maybe she should narrate "Animal Planet" instead.

not with her wolf-shooting-from-helicopter record!

I think this is a great thing!

... hopefully she hasn't ended her aspirations for the political arena.

Yes I hope 'she' hasn't either, I would rather see her aspirations dashed on national television for all to see!

With 1 million on her facebook, and millions of books sold ... it has to say something for her popularity.

Does it? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Even though the liberals try to make her look like a goof ...

For a woman who can't name a newspaper or magazine that she reads to keep herself informed, I don't think she needs any help 'looking like a goof!'

... she is far more intelligent and cunning than they will ever imagine or believe.

I think the jury is still out on this one...

One thing is for sure, Sarah will no longer be able to play the 'politician card' that we all detest so very much. You see, being a politician is about making speeches, or rather, stringing together statements. As far as forensics goes, it's really a very special kind of communication. It's not a question and answer format, the speaker simply makes a statement then goes on with the oration, which may or may not have anything to do with the original statement. The hearer of such communications may come away from the exchange with no more of an idea what was said than someone who missed the exchange altogether!

This is where it gets better, you see, Sarah won't be able to duck statements anymore. When she makes erroneous comments she will be pinned down by other news anchors on rival stations as to exactly what she meant. She will then be forced to either explain herself or show herself for the fool that she is.

Another thing that will become very apparent to the listening public is that Sarah employed a ghost writer for her book. She isn't nearly as verbally gifted as her carefully crafted image would have one believe.

She can spout all the mindless crap that she wants, and have absolutely no responsibility for anything! It's perfect for her!!!

Ouch, I know how much hurts.....Mr. Steve Schmidt is regreting every minute that he approve of Mrs. Palin and underestimated her, the McCain campaign "hire" the former Governor to be the laughing stock.

Now, pay the price.

Palin is perfectly suited for a network that uses pie charts that total up to 136%. While they say "Fair & Balanced" they actually believe the old saying that if you can't dazzle them with brilliance... I'm going to love watching the baffling babe babble on the big stage.

If she gets a time slot opposite wrestling, she might have some ratings problems.

And all you liberals and "progressives" will send her ratings through the roof.

You guys are so p'wned and it hasnt' even d'wned on you y't.

Suckers.

It's sure as Hell what Fox Noise need to balance it out.

Another right wing wack job.

It was announced official that Mrs. Palin will be a contributor on Fox, at the end of the News @ 6:00 p.m.

O-Boy I'm going to set my DVR for it so I can look back on History that Sarah Palin has an actual Job! Don't worry she will quit this one also!

Way To Go Sarah!

All the Sarah bashing makes me want to laugh...talk about Pavlov's dogs!

I think I hear a bell....listen to all the liberals....BARK BARK BARK!!!

I can't wait until she interviews Obama or Dick Cheney or ever Jr.Bush! but wait that would be scripted on both sides with Bush & Palin, how would that work? They would just sit there looking dumb at each other, Dumb and Dumber!

And this from the woman who wants the media to leave her alone. BARK BARK BARK is more likely the sound coming from her fan base. She will be working, after all, for FOX. It's a sad day for liberals who miss true champions of the Right who were worthy of sparing with--William F. Buckly, George Will, even William Safire. Now it's just another clown in a pants suit.

Money and Greed is what she's really about and yes remember when she was crying that the media was out to get her and her family! Now she's one of them, Well at least until she quits this job!

Mr. Steve Schmidt is regreting every minute that he approve of Mrs. Palin and underestimated her, the McCain campaign "hire" the former Governor to be the laughing stock.

Now, pay the price.

Didn't they pay the price when she helped them lose the election?

Bet Mccain will be watching CNN from now on.

The show will be called, ' Tina Fey's Retirement Fund'.

If you LIKE Sarah you will watch. If you DONT LIKE Sarah you will watch to see if she falls on her face. Either way you are watching Fox...and not watching the rest of the lame-stream media. Since the lefties love to hate Sarah, they will all be watching - Fox's rating should skyrocket now.

ZeroX.... no one cares about rating except you Fox News Channel groupies. It is funny that is the only victory for Reps and Cons. To cheer that Fox News won the rating wars just go to show how far you Reps and Cons fell. You people went from the Pres to cheering that Fox News has the most viewers and then brag about it. That is funny. Also most people now days get their news from the computer okay. Yeah we hate Palin because she went overboard in the way that she attacked Pres Obama. The sad thing is that Palin has the same things that she was accusing Obama of. She is one of the biggest hypocrites in America's history. Last thing is that I stop watching Fox News when O'Reilly went overboard too in how he attack Dr. Tiller. I can get my news about Fox and Palin from other medias without boosting their rating.

I promise you zero, I for one will NOT be watching. I will NOT pander to Palin or Fox in any manner. I'll be very content to idly stand by while she, again, makes an arse of herself.

Even though the liberals try to make her look like a goof,

No, she manages to do it herself.

On a brighter note, she made Jon Stewart's day with this announcement

Maybe Harry Reid can get a position on FOX? He can say anything and no one cares. Yeah like the big 3 media outlets are not bias for Obama? Get real.

What a colossal waste of bandwidth!

Well, it will make the Fox blonde bimbos look super smart now....

Great, now I'll have to turn Closed Captioning on and hit record if I ever want to decipher one rambling thing she says.

Shall we start a betting pool on the date she quits because she can't take the heat?

Aimee....

That is J e s u s H. Christ!!!! (as my father would say slowly and loud)...

and appropriate given she thinks she was delivered by God to save us.

Ridiculous as usual Robynlewis! Oh well at least your consistent(ly) wrong! You make everyone look so much smarter!

Fox news is the closest thing that we have as a state run news network! So does anybody else doubts that fox news is a propaganda arm of the RNC, or do you still need more evidence! this lady is not even fit to commentate about used toilet paper, but then again, she will be working on the fox-noise channel! Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!!!

I would never watch, I will just wait to hear about it on one of the news channels.

If you LIKE Sarah you will watch. If you DONT LIKE Sarah you will watch to see if she falls on her face. Either way you are watching Fox.

No need, when she screws up royally, she'll be on the Daily Show.

However, I expect they'll never let her actually express herself, just require that she follow the script... which means she'll get ticked and wander off fairly quickly.

Here comes another "Palin train wreck"! I never watch FAUX news anyway, so I won't have to listen to the village idiot. But, think of it this way. If she makes an even BIGGER ass of herself (than she already has), it will give us more to use against her in the future!

They know exactly who their audience is and Palin is the conservative's queen

There's a significant split happening in the Republican Party. She's not the conservative queen...she's the Teabaggers queen.

She is almost single handidly splitting the party, with of course support from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and others.

Actual Smart Conservative Politicians have done everything possible to distance themselves from her.

Nicey, I agree! Isn't it grand? The Republicans are splitting their own party in two and don't even seem to know that it's happening!

I see a lot of YouTube clips coming very soon.

Money and Greed is what she's really about and yes remember when she was crying that the media was out to get her and her family! Now she's one of them, Well at least until she quits this job!

Well, are you sure that the Dems, from top to bottom are working for free and not abusing of their power, money and greed? About Mrs. Palin family when she was a nominee for V.P.

Those kids deserved the same respect than the girls of our gracious President.

The Dems/Left did not follow the simple protocol, the Bush's twins were shredded to pieces while Chelsey was protected.

Double standards, as usual.

Well, one difference is that the Bush girl (at least the one) was filmed being a drunken whore under age at a frat party.

Any pictures of chelsea laying drunk in the street?

Picture

She'll have to read up on her guests, news and events.

And we all remember her answer to Katie Couric when asked what she reads regularly....

Determined0a1

You don't here the other politicians crying that the media is picking on them or there kids like Sarah Falin was doing, That's my point and the other politicians you are referring to will finish there terms unlike Super Sarah Falin! The other Politicians are working for there salaries around $165,000 and year and they all get paid the same unless you're a ranking politician and then you make a little more.

If it was me and I really cared about my families privacy and the media was getting to be to much I wouldn't have picked politics for my line of work like Sarah Falin did! I also wouldn't have took a new media job if my kids was suffering from the media picking on them & I especially wouldn't have paraded them around on stage like she did during the campaign, If I were her I would keep writing fiction novels just like her last book because there is very little truth to it!

The Sarah Falin Resignation song!

http://mgx.com/blogs/tag/sarah-palin/

I am not going to watch this trainwreck. I'll let Keith Olbermann fill me in on her lies. His one hour show will need to be expanded though.

Strange, I don't recall any of the Palin kids being mauled by the media. In fact, I recall Obama, just after the news of Bristol's pregnancy broke, declaring flat-out that they were off-limits.

Rainkiss

This is one site that she says stop picking on my family and don't pick on the new governors family! I'm not going to waist my time researching the clown's every word. If you go to Google they have page after page of her points and if someone really can't get enough of the queen of lies then Google is the place to be!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/26/palin-resigns-today-futur_n_245021.html

Oh, I certainly recall her complaining about "the media" picking on her family. I just don't remember them actually DOING it.

I gotcha and I also don't recall anyone picking on them either? I mean to a point where they put her family down to cause harm later in life, They have enough to deal with on the in family issues with the drama queen they call mom.

But for how long? Will she even show up for the gig, or blow it off like she did guest speaker appearances?

The good news is, I think we can take this as a sign that she won't be running for office again. Another good thing is we can watch her continue adding to the list of Caribou Barbie quotes.

Yes its go news for the Republicans because they were trying to find a way to get her to stop thinking of a run at the Whitehouse! Now they can just change the channel when there tired of listening to her!

Krankee, LOL!!!!!! So true!

Watch the polls tomorrow, Chris Matthews vs Beck sitting down for the first time with
Sarah Palin.

Sheesh, I am even skipping my Mexican soap opera @ 8:00 p.m.

The Democrats are too busy rushing off the cliff after Obama to bother worrying about either the GOP or Palin. You libs yearn for political oblivion, and conservatives are not about to even attempt to stop you.

Thats funny, cause it seems to me, you conservatives yearn for Intellectual oblivion, and liberals are not about to even attempt to stop you!

`You libs yearn for political oblivion

Yes, liberals attack their Chariman if he says they can't win in a mid-term elections, they have constant throat-tearing at each other, they cause massive fear mongering for personal gains.

</sarc>

Well-won't she be credible

............but she will be in like company

Wow. Not even on an article on Palin which has NOTHING to do with politics, just "she got a job, wonder if she'll keep it or quit" article, they can't help but throw Obama's name on the screen. /rolleyes

Dream on libs....and watch her smoke in 2010.

.and watch her smoke in 2010.

If you mean smoke and mirrors, sure. She's not running for anything in 2010.

Rita

Care to make a friendly wager on that?

Smoke, as in destory herself? Pull up a seat and make some popcorn, this one's gonna be fun.

I think that meant, she'll "go up in smoke", or "get smoked by the opposition." Wait, what's she supposed to be running for in 2010? Did they cut the term to 2 years?

Well, Murkowski's up for re-election in 2010. Palin could, in theory, run for her seat... although she already stated she'd back Murkowski. She could have lied.

and watch her smoke in 2010.

An addiction to crack would explain a lot, actually.

Rita..you are of course referring to the smoke rolling from her cranium as she tries to answer simple questions like..What do you read? Rita..do you have any idea how ridiculous and inane and parrot like your postings are.

You don't actually think she's going to let anybody ask her any questions that she hasn't vetted and written out answers for ahead of time do you?

Hey Rita.....put down the crack pipe and slowly back away. I have a bridge for sale if you're interested!!

and this makes her different from any other politician? do you think obama takes unvetted questions?

Ya! Palin will definately win against Obama in the 2010 elections! :P

smoke as in spontaneous human combustion,, yep smoke,,,

the woman is intellectually inept, morally bankrupt and she'll probably quit this too

The amusing thing is........

She and all her supporters see this as a step up.

Uhm.......really? Because going from a potential world leader to an occasional ventertainer on Fric n' Frac news smacks as a demotion. It's not like she's a credentialed journalist in the same vein as Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Christiane Amapour, etc.

Not even close.

Call me crazy.

Jus' sayin'..........

Dream on libs....and watch her smoke in 2010.

I'm thinking she's already been smokin some pretty good @!$%#.

Well, others had it harder.

You don't actually think she's going to let anybody ask her any questions that she hasn't vetted and written out answers for ahead of time do you?

No, the guests will be carefully selected and she'll never have anyone on who would have an opposing view, so FNC won't have to adopt a variation of the "Don't speak to the former Governor unless she speaks to you" policy that came up at her book signings.

That won't take away from the comedy of it, though. She'll still deliver gems on a regular basis like how we have to take a stand against the Ayatollahs in Iraq regarding their nucular ( spelling it like she's said it ) ambitions.

Smoke as in the blunt you would need to suck down in order to understand her non sequiturs, her wink, wink, rib, rib, and faux outdoorsy humor. Prediction: headlines will herald everywhere the first occasion she actually gets a fact right. But beyond the blunt, don't hold your breath...

Wow. Not even on an article on Palin which has NOTHING to do with politics, just "she got a job, wonder if she'll keep it or quit" article, they can't help but throw Obama's name on the screen. /rolleyes

As long as the price is right... she will stay. It is not as hard as being Governor, and there is probably an expense account for clothing and makeup.

Really .... Why would she quit? She is taking everyone who supports her for office on a ride. She has no intention of running for President. She is using the "thought of it" to push her career in front of the camera.

For being so dumb... not such a bad idea, given the state of hostility and the gullibility of her target audience.

Dream on; the dems will lose the majority in 2010 and Sarah Palin will have nothing to do with it. The dems have done it to themselves.....oh wait, maybe it's Bush's fault. After all, he too was a liberal.

You libs yearn for political oblivion, and conservatives are not about to even attempt to stop you.

Seriously dude, the GOP political leaders are afraid to say anything cross to an ENTERTAINER in Lush Lumpbaugh, and you think the GOP is in a position to convince a majority of Americans that they represent them?

The GOP is officially void of any sort of leadership, there are no charismatic leaders outside of Caribou Barbie (who is as dumb as a stump), and they spend too much time telling independents like myself what they're against instead of what they're for.

They have no appeal, no meaningful policy and no leaders of substance.

The dems have done it to themselves

What exactly have the Dems done?

welllllll

...........if I need comic relief.

Agreed. Fox "News" is funnier than "Last Comic Standing."

THAT'S IT! This is Santa's bestest present EVER for Jon Stewart!

I bet he's already laughing.

A joke of a politician, on a joke of a news station. Perfect fit.

You know what this means? Now Fox has both Politico's Liar of the Year AND Liar of the Year runner up! It must be their long term strategy: monopolize on the biggest liars in the world of politics.

Alway; you talk a big game with absolutely no proof of your accusation. If you don't watch Fox, then how do you know that anything they say is a lie? If so, then be specific or think before you spout.

Wow, such extreme hate from the left for this woman. I am happy for her new position. Should be interesting to see how she progresses. You go Sarah - ignore all these hate mongers.

I don't hate Mrs. Palin. Not in any sense of the word.

I just think that she's not a competent politician or commenter. For me, that's an objective judgment based on what she's presented to us so far.

Forgive me for preferring that intelligent, competent people run our country.

Sportscaster. Intern.

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/hofmann/Sarah_Palin_Sportscaster.html

I was close!

Does anyone at Faux "News" really qualify as a newscaster?

Because the evil liberal media and President Obama and O'Biden ridiculed her. *rolls eyes*

She can have Carrie Prejean on, and they can both quit the show together.

Spiffie..or not talk to each other and claim that their freedom of speech has been denied..by each other then the remove their mics and storm off set then return and at the same time they short circut like two Stepford fembots as they claim that it's all some anti-god left wing conspiracy as they fry into oblivian.

Spiffie, you're being very inappropriate.

Because the evil liberal media and President Obama and O'Biden ridiculed her.

No, she ridiculed herself. Actually, after she first open her mouth I seriously consider a sex change operation

Newbroom?? How is spiffie being in..Oh I get it..

I wonder how he can work in the Palinism....."Obiden"

Actually, it is probably one of her "Dreams come True" , she will be in the spotlight. Whatever it takes. Yecchh! :-(

No, the jury came back. She's "Not So Smart".

And they only had to deliberate for 10 seconds.

Really? 10 seconds?

You must be counting the time the jury took to walk to the deliberation room, sit down, stand up, and walk back.

she will blow our socks off.

desperation can make you do that

Yeah, cause FACTS SUCK!!

;-)

Rather look at Sarah for an hour than Rachel Maddow.

ROTFLMAO.... good grief pin a picture of her on the wall and stare at it... you will get just as much relevant information.

I will stick with Rachel.

As for comedy... I will buy a LP player so I can play my dust ridden George Carlin vinyl album, before I watch Sarah wink and smile.

Yeah, cause FACTS SUCK!!

Facts have a liberal bias.

Facts have a liberal bias.

Reality too!

Fred:

Rather look at Sarah for an hour than Rachel Maddow. The wink is far more appealing than the false serious facial expressions.

Your statement just shows your male chauvinism and your intelligence!! Good thing your lead has your male name or no one would've ever guessed that's what you are (sarcasm)!!!

. good grief pin a picture of her on the wall and stare at it... you will get just as much relevant information.

Too funny!

come on ! Rachal Maddow is a smoking hot educated woman ! a class act !

Palin ? in almost every picture she comes off as a semi cross eyed open mouthed hooker surprised by the camera !

Your statement just shows your male chauvinism and your intelligence!!

LMAO.... I wonder how long it will take for you to realize just how funny this sentence is when you get to the ending?

An attorney for the former Alaska governor.........says Palin will provide some type of commentary

even her attorney is not sure what type of information she will provide.

you have to love the comment her own mother in law made when asked .........

"I'm not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she's a woman and a conservative." Sarah Palin's mother-in-law, Faye Palin, indicating she may vote for Obama

lol. I'm sure she's just as qualified to sit on the set of Fox news like the rest and spout opinion masked as news . The no facts zone !

Don't worry she still uses the bleach. It just goes on her brain, not her hair.

naw come on Ohiogirl ... we all know that bleach is for her mustache

ouch!!!

:D

HeY Everyone, enough with the blonde jokes!!!! This lady proves that we blondes are smarter! : )

Bitch gives brunettes a bad name.

She will have to dye her hair blonde to be allowed on the network.

Maybe. Only Todd knows if she would need to bleach or if she's been dyeing her hair in an attempt at "artificial intelligence."

Apologies to SH-2000 and any other blondes out there. I tried but couldn't resist.

Are we sure this isn't satire?

That would have to mean Palin knows what satire is.

SavemeJebus..Sarah probably thinks "satire" is that beast who is sexually prolific in ancient texts and Shakespeare plays.....real word..satyr

Aimee...........tsk tsk....lol

God Aimee, that was not a needed image!

Yuck! Coulden't resist could yah?

Whats wrong with Aimee's comment? ...You know she was referring to commentators by their nicknames right?

people aka....

'Talking Heads'...

Oh wait, you thought it was something dirty huh?

LOL... wow Aimee.
